Just like last year, Once Upon a Time was dumped to CTV Two due to the Junos yesterday. The episode is scheduled saturday Apr 8th at 12pm or 10am on CTV Montréal / Winnipeg / Saskatchewan / Northern Ontario.

On Wed Apr 14, Blindspot starts a 2-weeks break so NBC scheduled a L&O:SVU repeat there. CBS's Criminal Minds is on a break and 2 new episodes of CM:Beyond Borders will air that night at 9pm and 10pm, but ABC still have Designated Survivor at 10pm. It just makes sense to timeshift the CM:BB 10pm edition in pre-release at 8pm simsub the 9pm edition and keep DS there. As of writing this, asleep scheduler at CTV have a generic CM episode at 9pm that night. The previous tuesday, NBC's Trial & Error airs in simulcast.

Gawd I hate Bell !!! Since I PVR'ed The CW's iZombie at 9, I also programmed Trial & Error on NBC since they're on the same physical channel (WPTZ 5.1 NBC, 5.2 CW). I expected CTV to air it sometime like... monday 10th and tuesday 11th at 7:30pm before the new episodes ? Oh wait, sacrificing simsub syndicated TBBT reruns, bad idea...

Speaking of Trial & Error, NBC programmed the 11th episode on THURSDAY Apr 13 at 8pm, against a new episode of CBS's TBBT. Episodes 12 & 13 are scheduled for tuesday Apr 18 at 10pm after The Voice, but CTV simsubs Agents of SHIELD that night. As of writing this, that means the last 3 episodes are shelved.

I am not in the least bit surprised that Bell pulled off this move at the very last minute, without warning of course. I figured that's what would happen - it's just unfortunate I was not able to make an update on this thread before the forum went down again this week.

Having said that, I have a feeling that the last three episodes will end up on CTV Two. I'm guessing for Episode 11 next Thursday, they will insert it in post-release on Friday following American Housewife, with episodes 12 and 13 airing in simulcast.

Regular programming resumed with Once Upon a Time at 8:00pm. I anticipated that the Masters would run past 7:00pm and pre-empt The Big Bang Theory. I quickly tuned in a few minutes past 7:30pm and saw that the Masters was still on. So they treated The Goldbergs as filler in this case for viewers in Ontario and Montreal while it was already pre-empted to begin with for the Atlantic provinces. Looks like viewers elsewhere will get to watch the Sunday evening lineup as regularly scheduled.

Unlike last year, when CTV had MasterChef Canada on Sunday and it started a half-hour later, thus also delaying Once Upon a Time. Everything was back in order with a Big Bang filler episode at 9:30pm as CTV moved struggling ABC drama The Family to CTV Two, then Quantico aired at 10:00pm. I suppose this is why they moved MasterChef Canada to another timeslot this season, in order to avoid any scheduling conflicts from live sports overruns.

I learned this only today, but... NBC did a last-minute episode switcheroo.

The Apr 6th episode was supposed to be "Emergency Punch-Up", which in the story involves some gas poisoning. NBC decided to air instead "Van v. Emily: Dawn of Justice" due to Syria attack, but the message wasn't received in time by CTV which aired Emergency, and no mention which episode aired on the west coast.
